H/t to the posting machine that is Lenin’s Tomb,
-Dr. Les Roberts from Columbia University discusses the famous Johns Hopkins/Lancet studies of “excess civilian deaths” in Iraq since 2003, the UK government scientists who told Tony Blair that Lancet had, if anything, underestimated the dead at 655,000 (more than the Rwandan genocide of 1994), the deliberate efforts of the U.S. government to suppress numbers of the dead.-

The interview is only a quarter of an hour so you owe it to yourself and the dead to listen. It has added resonance now we know the Govt. acknowledged the methodology as sound but still disputed the study.
Anthony attends catholic masses with Cherie and so may well understand the the concepts of sin and what constitutes a mortal sin “Immediately after death the souls of those who die in a state of mortal sin descend into hell.”. Which just this week Pope Benny the butch insisted was a real place of eternal torment and not a spiritual metaphor. Good.
Unfortunately that’s all so much mumbo jumbo, how do we make this right? Because we have to otherwise we might as well strap on a swastika armband right now and be done with it.
Withdrawal, reparations, trials of the war criminals.
Would be a start.
Update- Blairwatch asks some important questions:-
The BBC ran the story online on Monday the 26th of March, after ‘Iraq Week’, after the Question Time Iraq Special and all those Newsnight segments on the cost of the war.
Yet the BBC tell us they received the information on 14 March 2007 – Twelve days before they broadcast it. -
